  1. I was going to storming guess half-shard when I was asking if "shard" was in the name! But then I fell asleep. Ha! Does it exist only on one Shardworld? Is the planet it is on/associated with from one of Brandon's short stories? Is it alive?
  2. Does this thing have a formal name like shardplate or oathstone? If yes, is the word "shard" part of the name? Is the item larger than a cremling?
  3. Hmmm, I've realized that most of the planets have had a Shard splintered on them. So... Is the thing on Roshar? Is the thing on Scadrial? Is the thing on Sel? Is the thing strongly linked to Investiture?
  4. Is it a living thing? Does it exist on a planet where a Shard has been killed before? Does it exist only on 1 Shardworld?
  5. Yes! No. So the third is an automatic no also.
  6. Not on Nalthis. No gender.
  7. Is it Nightblood? No Roshar, Sel, or Threnody? No
  8. Good qustions. Yes, but is it always? No. Yes, it does have a specific name.
  9. I wish! But sadly, no. Negative. Yes and we've seen it. Yes. Yes. No.
  10. Hey, as The One Who Reads "memed", we're a pretty civil place here. I'm glad that you reacted so well and made a new version! I have to say though, your new gender-neutral version doesn't work as well , but I appreciate it! Gave ya an upvote! Cheers.
  11. Wow. That took a while. Alright, your first clue: It's Cosmere
  12. Is it the Diagram?
  13. From "Gangster Johnny" in the very meta movie within the movie Home Alone: "I'm gonna give you to the count of 10, to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead! 1...2...10! Keep the change, ya filthy animal."
  14. I'm sorry, but I don't like this one because I don't think it's funny to make puns alluding to violence towards women. Even if the ultimate joke is that it's actually making a chivalrous reference. I didn't downvote you for it, but thought I'd rather express my feelings so that we can, as a group, maybe steer clear of jokes at the expense of violence towards women.
  15. A joke at the expense of weather?!?!?! Grrrrr. As a self-professed weather hobbyist, this makes me upset and smile at the same time. I can't laugh too much at this because it is not a very original joke, but it is well placed nonetheless. I also feel like ALL of the Returned can be joked about. Most, if not all, of the current court of Returned have pretty ridiculous names.
  16. Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry
  17. Is it in the Purelake interlude? Is it Maib's stilted lake house?
  18. Katrina was bad, but I'd estimate that the Everstorm would be significantly worse. The Shin live in a part of Roshar rather protected from Highstorms due to their topography and the fact the storm has to travel over land for a long time. This always will make any storm weaker. The Everstorm however, would slam into Shinovar in a devastating fashion after acquiring significant moisture from the Endless Ocean (especially if comes from the north-west). As we know, the northern climes of Roshar seem to be WARMER than the southern climes (the Frostlands are on the southern side of the continent and the tropical Reshi Island on the north) so if we assume the Everstorm strengthens/recharges over warm open water like regular storms this will be a huge storm when it hits Shinovar. Shinovar's only saving grace may be if the mountains on its western side are significantly large enough to pull most of the moisture out of the air as it rise over the peaks, creating a rain-shadow effect. I doubt this would be enough. Now, if the storm comes from a more northern direction than western, it could hit Shinovar through the bay it shares with Iri. If this were to happen destruction would be vast. The last thing to consider: architecture. The architecture of Shinovar has probably never been developed to deal with strong storms. Let alone any coming from the WRONG direction. As we know in mainland Roshar, a lot of buildings are built in protective laits...but they're unprotected on the western side due to the natural erosion created by the wind and rain of Highstorms. These buildings get destroyed by the Everstorm and they probably are built stronger than buildings in Shinovar in general. Thus buildings in Shinovar will be blown away, will collapse, or will generally not be soundly built to withstand this type of destruction, even if the mountains weaken the storm some. Given all of these points, I would argue that the impact will be MUCH WORSE than Katrina. I'd liken the immediate devastation to be like the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004. Immediate, unforeseen, and catastrophic. [Edit: here's an old thread on a similar topic of the Everstorm and Shinovar, if you're interested in seeing the previous discussions]
  19. Fair point on how many upvotes one gets there...but for the Reckoners RP, it's all about post quantity and frequency. If each post gets, on average, 1 upvote...you'll mine upvotes better than anywhere else on the forum: Twi's Activity:
  20. Is it owned or used by any of the main POV characters including Shallan, Jasnah, Dalinar, Adolin, or Szeth?
  21. Ahh right. I didn't think about that. I was only thinking about it as needing Spren.
  22. Is it a type of fabrial?
  23. As a person who is fond of graphs, you have it slightly wrong. But what a beautiful effort. The real graph should be about 99% Reckoners RPG; 0.99% Sanderson Memes; and 0.01% everything else. Just ask Kobold and TwiL.
